@Robsuite Would it be rude to mention what that related work is REALLY mostly known as? But it is an excellent piece of public art and greatly beloved.

@sammyjcomedian This deserves a cage match.

After this morning's brutal arrests by the Russian-backed government, protests against the rugged elections are only growing.

Hard to do USSR 2.0 without once again enslaving the freedom loving people of Georgia.

Work continues on installing Ouroborous and its pond out the front of the National Gallery of Australia. I think Ouroborous is due to be opened in October.

I confess I am fascinated to see how hot it gets inside it when Summer hits . . .

@GilGreening Restaurant owner Mickey Gubas had a long-running dispute with Telstra over the state of Black Mountain Tower. It was reported that Mr Gubas stopped paying rent two years before Alto closed. Mr Gubas then opened Autolyse.

A view of Telstra Tower from the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

While we all wait impatiently for Architectus to transform this iconic structure into a premier dining and cultural attraction, we can continue to enjoy spotting it from all over Canberra,

Detail of the entrance to the former Forestry School in Yarralumla. I love the tree badge thing (I have no clue what the correct term is) above the door.
Apparently, there is a magnificent domed hall inside the building; I wonder if it is accessible to the public

It is time for the Annual Warm Trees at the National Arboretum in Canberra. #visitCanberra

[Canberrastreets @canberrastreets]

@hsnACT I agree. It would be even nicer if more people popped by to see it; there were only some police, a small family, and the two seagulls in my foreground while I was there last night. it is even lovelier when seen in motion.
